Oracle DB 10g XE Database Home Page login failure

Hi,
I've just successfully installed Oracle DB 10g XE on WIN2KPRO SP4.
I can connect to the Oracle DB using Toad for Oracle. So the System user and password entered during setup work.
However if I open the DB home page and try to log in with the same details, the login process fails. Why?
Help is appreciated. Thanks.
Ovidiu

I have the sma eproblem. IN my case, I cant even see a page, I get the blank dns error screen. I am able to conect to databse usign SQL window.
While trying this several times, I uninstalled the 10G express and tired to download the 9i. In this case I am getting unusal error as well. Even after chekcingteh agree to Oracles policy etc, I get an errro that sorry you cant download the files. You have to agree to oracle downlaod policy.

I am not sure why this is happening and what can be done. But i think the same thing is happenign with 10G as well(the username etc is nto being taken)

    1 Logging in as the Database Administrator
    The first thing you need to do is to log in as the Oracle Database XE
    Administrator. Follow these steps:
    1. Open the Database Home Page login window:
    ■ On Windows, from the Start menu, select Programs (or All Programs),
    then Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, and then Go To Database
    Home Page.
    ■ On Linux, click the Application menu (on Gnome) or the K menu (on
    KDE), then point to Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, and then Go
    To Database Home Page.
    2. At the Database Home Page login window, enter the following information:
    ■ Username: Enter system for the user name.
    ■ Password: Enter the password that was specified when Oracle Database
    XE was installed.
    3. Click Login.
    The Oracle Database XE home page appears.

    That is really strange, actually the go to database homepage is going to the application express home page,
    http://peterzyw.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!DF2188D6F941C9F9!918/
    If you really cannot see this option, you can try to type the URL of apex and access it
    http://localhost:port/apex
    http://localhost:8080/apex
    The go to database homepage menu option should be below the "Run SQL Command Line" .

  • Error in Oracle 10g "Go To Database Home Page"

    I just downloaded the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and successfully installed it. But when I click on the "Go to Database Home Page" from the start menu, a new browser window opens up but nothing actually loads on the page. The browser seems to be trying to load the page forever. The URL that is being tried to load seems to be correct: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex. I am using IE version 6.0 on Windows XP. Can somebody help me what I am doing wrong?

    Before you proceed with this troubleshooting tecnique, verify the contents of the alertXE.log file, if some issues are reported there, to make you think it is a lack of temporary tablespaces, then proceed as follows:
    This alter tablespace command is issued from a sqlplus prompt.
    Once you have installed your OracleXE it starts your database and listner processes. Before accessing sqlpus, ensure you have properly defined environment variables:
    ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_SID
    PATH
    Once you have ensured your environment is properly configured, connect as sysdba
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    This will open your SQL prompt, from there you can issue the commands.

  • Cannot access Oracle XE database home page

    Hi
    I have just installed Oracle Database 10g express edition on my Windows XP, and the installation seemed to go well.
    I then select to go to the database home page after the installation which opens a browser at this address: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex, and i get a The page cannot be displayed' error.
    During the install, i was given this information:
    Destination Folder: C:\oraclexe\
    Port for 'Oracle Database Listener': 1521
    Port for 'Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server': 2030
    Port for HTTP Listener: 8080
    I have tried restarting my computer, but still get the cannot find server error when attempting to go to the database home page.
    I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this issue, where they cannot get to the database homepage, and how they may have solved it.
    I also have disabled my firewall. but still could not access Home Page.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    many thanks

    Edited by: 921562 on Mar 24, 2012 3:35 AMThis has nothing to do with Oracle. Do you have an understanding of how URL's are constructed? The leading characters, delimited by the colon (':') specify http protocol. The string between the first colon and the next (if exists) specifies the fully qualified name of the host, or the IP addess of the host. Take a look at what you have there: //http//127.0.0.1" I really don't think your host name is "//http//127.0.0.1". More like '//127.0.0.1"

  • Creating new Tablespace in 10g XE using Database Home Page

    How can I add a Tablespace using the "Database home Page" GUI? I've done this before, but now do not see a link for "Create Tablespace" under the Administration -> Storage icon. I'm logged in as sys.

    use sqlplus to create a new tablespace
    (set your XE environment first)
    (for Linux)
    the environment file envOraXEclient for example) -- modify for your env and different shell, and source the file
    export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
    export TNS_ADMIN=/home/mytnsdirectory
    export TWO_TASK=XE
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib
    export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:${PATH}
    by using sqlplus, create the tablespace (use different size if you want, up to 4gb, you can create smaller, more than one tablespace, etc - this is just an example)
    CREATE SMALLFILE
    TABLESPACE "MYTBLSPC1"
    DATAFILE '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/mytblspc1.dbf'
    SIZE 2G REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
    LOGGING EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO
    if you want, create a dedicated temporary tablespace for your user/s as well (here is an example)
    CREATE SMALLFILE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "MYTEMP"
    TEMPFILE '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/mytemp.dbf'
    SIZE 100M REUSE EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1024K
    turn the recyclebin off if you want/need to (I do ;)
    alter system set recyclebin=off;
    change the open_cursors if you want/need to (I do ;)
    ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors = 5000 SCOPE=MEMORY;
    ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors = 5000 SCOPE=SPFILE;
    ALTER SYSTEM SET session_cached_cursors = 50 SCOPE=SPFILE;
    create a specific user utilizing the tablespaces you created earlier
    CREATE USER "ZAFER" PROFILE "DEFAULT"
    IDENTIFIED BY "zafer" DEFAULT TABLESPACE "MYTBLSPC1"
    TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "MYTEMP"
    ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
    (grants are up to you - and your development / deployment environment)
    GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO "ZAFER";
    GRANT "CONNECT" TO "ZAFER";
    GRANT "RESOURCE" TO "ZAFER";

  • What happened to my Oracle Database Home Page ?

    Everything was working fine. Suddenly, the browser can no longer connect to the Database Home Page.
    What has happened. My Internet connection still works (I'm here). Nothing else was changed that I can tell.
    Please Help. Thanks.

    I believe I solved the problem - although I don't know how it happened.
    I went to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services and noted that the Oracle XE components:
    OracleJobSchedulerXE
    OracleMTSREcoveryService
    OracleServiceXE
    OracleXEClrAgent
    CracleXETNSListener
    were all running (except OracleJobSchedulerXE which doesnt offer a restart option).
    I stopped the OracleServiceXE and restarted it. I also started the MTSRecovery Service, ClrAgen and TNSListener.
    That seems to have solved the problem.
    Any idea how the service got turned off?

  • How to create TABLE using "Go To Database Home Page"

    I installed Oracle 10g Express
    The Database Home page is working fine using sys/system user name
    I understand that this is also an APEX INTERNAL Application.
    Now I installed APEX 3...latest version , the database page has now changed to APEX , Oracle Application Express page.
    Also the http://.../apex/apex_admin .. is working, but I dont know where to find the Administration page of Database , which lets creation of database users & tables

    Hi
    If I understand you problem correctly then you go to Database Homepage, and login using sys/system you can see the homepage with the icons for 'Application Builder', 'SQL Workshop', 'Utilities'.
    Here clicking on 'SQL Workshop' you will find 'Object Browser', 'Sql Commands', 'SQL Scripts' and 'Query Builder'.
    You can create database objects by entering sql commands in 'Sql Commands' or from the 'Object Browser'->[Create] button.

  • Cannot View Database Home Page After Upgrading to XE 3.2 on Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I have recently upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 3.2 on my Oracle 10g XE database running on Windows XP SP3.
    Unfortunately after successfully completing the upgrade and starting the services when I try and visit the Start -> All Programs -> Oracle Database 10g Express Edition -> Go To Oracle Database Home Page I am receiving a page cannot be found error (or broken link message, depending on the browser I try IE7, Firefox 3.0.10 or Chrome 2.0).

    I have turned off my Firewall, checked against multiple browsers.... HELP!!!!
    I've backed out the 3.2 upgrade and reinstalled and receieved the same issue. The next step is to unistall the XE database and reinstall, but I'm loathed to do that without seeking some responses from this Forum.
    Many thanks.
    Have a great day.
    Kind Regards,
    Gary.

    Hello Roel,
    Thank you taking the time to reply.
    I had previously tried all those url combinations and still no luck.
    I also found out about displaying the HTTP port number. And you were right it was listening on the default 8080. I disabled it and re-enabled it on port 9080 to see if that made a difference but it didn't so I decided to remoce Oracle XE database and go through the reinstallation and subsequent upgarde to APEX 3.2. Everything appera sto be working fime now.
    One point of note is that if I view the Listener status now I notice another line from what I had previously referring to the HTTP listener, although my listener.ora file never changed (apart from having the TNS Listener port resuming to the default 1521).

    Can anyone answer why this may have been omitted previously? Presumably this is why my browser couldn't render anything from APEX.
